I made the trip to Cleveland with all 4 babies and it was a hit. Not something that I want to do for fun but the kids where great. They where kept busy by chewy treats, the triple stroller was a must, and the DVD player worked wonders. THe flight attendents on all the flights where nice and helpful. People even commented when getting off the plane about how good the kids where! I just feel super blessed and happy that it went off with out a hitch, but do not plan on doing it again any time soon!
Yay, Heather! I'm so glad you checked in and let us know how it went. You are super mom! ETA: If you have a chance to give details, I'd love to know how you got on & off the planes. I just did it with just one kid and found it challenging! Did someone have to carry some of the kids for you?
I had one baby in an infant carrier the other I had in a front carrier. I then just had the 2 year olds walk on in front of me. I just asked the one flight attendent to carry the one diaper bag and DVD case. It was that easy. It was a pain getting down those narrow rows on the plane but we did it. I also choose not to bring the 2 year olds car seats on the plane. I just had them wear the airplane seatbelt. And it went great. They sat there as happy as clams. Every now and then I would have to tell them to leave the stinking belts alone but they listened really well. When ever they got a little to rowdy I would bring out a small toy (new) or a chewy snack. They where in heaven because I never let them just eat snacks! Getting off the plane we did the same. I put one baby in a front carrier, one in an infant carrier, and then had the 2 year olds walk in front of me. The stroller was waiting for as soon as we got off the plane and in they went! It was great. Stressfull and very tiring but it went well.
